the whole thing is, now days you can address immediate needs when they need to be addressed because players are miles ahead of where they were years ago and are coming out of college more pro-ready. there is no point in drafting a pro-ready, high paid defensive end this year because it MIGHT be an issue next year, when there are more pressing issues right now that need to be addressed. jmo

Jack Lambert played at 220lbs.

So many of you are looking for a DE/OLB hybrid... I just want a guy that can play football, and I don't want another "project" like Alonzo Jackson.

Greg Lloyd was only 230 lbs...

Koopa......don't even try to say Jack Lambert couldn't play on a team today! He was a HOF MLB who had great football instincts. It was rare to see him not in on a tackle! Lets just get a guy with great character who plays with a mean disposition on the field!

carriker isn't going to be good for us, he'll just cause problems with a log jam and it'll be a complete waste, we'll resign smith, ain't no other team gonna want him, and keisel has done good for us.................. we need a DE/OLB because we don't know what we are gonna change too, and haggans is a complete bum, and porter is on the verge of being a bum too

and wtf does jack lambert have to do with anything???? he was a mlb, not a DE, and he played in the 4-3, so he has nothing to do what we are talking about

See this is the whole problem here people, we don't know what we need yet because we don't know exactly what defense we're going to predominately play.

If we were playing a 34 mainly then we know certain athletes will fit well. If we were playing a 43 mainly then we'd know the same about them. Since we might be playing a mixture with no predominant base set we have no idea who we need except to go off what we know from last year in terms of who needs replaced and what not.

Dude, just draft players that could fit in either scheme and you will be ok. There is players in this draft that could fit into either scheme.
